Which does rather imply there's a big crash coming.

That's not a zero-sum nor value-creating cycle: everyone will slowly haemorrhage users, at the risk that the next "thing" isn't something that easily centralizes to a corporation - i.e. a generation of school kids who get big into some type of mesh-networked thing which solely goes device to device.

It would only have to be created once.

If it's created as a platform (hear, a protocol) it may effectively need to be created only once. The whole online world is unknowingly waiting for it, and I feel it coming our way like, at raging speed.
